I rarely install VirtualBox from the Ubuntu Software Center, because it is always outdated. I will show you how to install it manually:
Download the version with your correct architecture:
Save the file in your home folder, then start up the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T, and then run the following command:
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-4.3_4.3.28-100309~Ubuntu~raring_*.deb
After that, if it still gives you a missing packages list, try:
sudo apt-get -f install
Last, but not least, you need to install the VirtualBox 4.3.28 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack, after download, open it with VirtualBox, and you're done.
what about downloading .deb package directly from Oracle and installing it with
sudo dpkg -i packageName.deb
in terminal?
If something is missing, you can anyway try to find missing packages via
sudo apt-get -f install
